DENIES ULTIMATUM OF U. S. HAS
BEEN DELIVERED
New York, Nov. 4. The New York
Evening Sun prints-a dispatch from
its correspondent in Mexico City,
quoting Charge d'Affairs Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, through whom it has
been reported that Pres. Wilson de
livered the ultimatum of the U. S.
that Huerta must withdraw, as deny
ing that any ultimatum has been pre
sented to Mexico.
"You have my word of honor that
no ultimatum lias been presented to
the Mexican government, nor any
thing in the nature of such a de
mand," O'Shaughnessy is quoted as
saying.
"I have not seen Foreign Minister
Moheno for five days nor communi
cated with him in that time, and any
thing like an ultimatum or other
formal international communication
would have to be presented through
him. The international situation re
mains the same now as for a good
many days."
As ot the reported conference of
foreign diplomats, O'Shaughnessy is
quoted as saying:
"I have not seen the British or
Spanish minister for four days, and,
as you know, the Russian, German
and Norwegian ministers have been
at Vera Cruz for several days. I know
nothing of any recent conference."
Washington. Sen. Bacon, chair
man of the Senate committee on for
eign affairs, declared, after a long
conference with Sec'y of State Bryan
and Sec'y of the Navy Daniels, that
the Mexican situation is rapidly com
ing to a head, but with prospects of
a peaceful adjustment
BRYAN ALSO DENIES
Washington, Nov. 4. Secretary
Bryan this afternoon gave out a
statement denying that any ultima
tum had been sent to President Huer
ta. He said:
"No--ultimatum has been sent to
Mexico, and it is Unfortunate that the
press should give credence to such
a report. The harm done by specu
lation or even inaccuracies with 're
gard to domestic questions is limited
because the people are acquainted
with the subject and can make allow
ances; but as misstatements with re
gard to international matters may
lead to serious consequences I feel
justified in making the above denial."
